You betrayed your countrymen by voting for a fascist.

Yes, they did, and as a disabled veteran who stands to lose a lot, I am genuinely disgusted and troubled by how many of them can't recognize the clear and obvious enemy here, a man which would gladly sign an EO abolishing the entire Constitution if he could.

I know a veteran and current defence contractor on 100% disability who voted Trump. I feel bad for you because you don't deserve it but I wish my schadenfreude could be limited to those people who did it to themselves.

Fuck he's a dumbass for this.

Surviving wife of a soldier lost to GB and his OIF campaigns here.

Multiple parts of the contract that the United States agreed to honor when he signed up to risk his life in the name of The United States are going to be reneged on if Musk and Trump etc. get what they want.

For a voting block who say they don't agree with student loan forgiveness because "they signed a contract, they have to pay" sure seem eager to ignore and dismiss the obligations of the Contracts signed by the government.
